Mestil Hotels & Residences

Mestil Hotels & Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were cleaned, and the staff were excellent. Everyone was willing to help. The only issue I noticed was noise due to lots of weddings that were ongoing at the property. There should be a way to have people having ceremonies and weddings in separate locations from the guests staying at the hotel. I used the SPA; the lady was very professional, and the room was cleaned."
